Anderson back, then out: Garret Anderson started at designated hitter after missing two games because of a slight groin pull suffered when hitting first base awkwardly in Thursday's win in Texas, but he was pulled from the game after one at-bat because of "precautionary reasons," the team said.

Anderson batted against Seattle right-hander Joel Pineiro in the first inning and flied out to center field. He was replaced in the top of the fourth by Bengie Molina.

I hope he doesn't have to miss much time because of this. I need him to start hitting soon.
